The Different Types of Instant Messaging

There are several different types of instant messaging. These include XMPP (Extensible Markup Language), Message switching unit 112, Text messaging, and WeChat. Each one is a great way to communicate with others. We will take a look at some of the most popular forms of IM and their uses.
